Our comprehensive professional negligence practice at Patton • Wolan • Carlise LLP involves both the prosecution and defense of malpractice claims. Our objective approach ensures that the rights of our clients are protected at all times and that resolution is made according to the facts of the case and California law alone. Professional malpractice is a highly focused area of law requiring unique skills. Few Northern California attorneys maintain a professional negligence practice, which is why our lawyers receive numerous referrals from former clients and legal peers who recognize our successful approach.

A negative result is not always indicative of malpractice or negligence. An attorney from the Oakland law offices of Patton • Wolan • Carlise LLP can assist clients in the careful evaluation of a case and then provide a frank and honest assessment of the situation and the consequences of any decisions. We are experienced negotiators and mediators with extensive experience on both sides of the table. This allows us to craft timely agreements designed to keep a case out of court. We are, however, experienced trial lawyers and litigators who practice in the federal and California state courts and who will aggressively pursue your case in court if settlement is not possible.

A professional malpractice lawyer from the Oakland offices of Patton • Wolan • Carlise LLP is available today to discuss claims of negligence and other violations of professional standards. Please contact our Oakland offices today online or by calling us at 510.987.7500 and a member of our staff will return your inquiry promptly.
